1

Which of the following is not a part of PEMDAS, the acronym for math order of operations?

91% Answer Correctly

exponents

addition

division

pairs


Solution

When solving an equation with two variables, replace the variables with the values given and then solve the now variable-free equation. (Remember order of operations, PEMDAS, Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction.)


2

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one set of __________ sides.

71% Answer Correctly

equal length

right angle

equal angle

parallel


Solution

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one set of parallel sides.


3

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 2) and (2, -6). What is the slope-intercept equation for this line?

41% Answer Correctly
y = -3x - 2
y = -2x - 2
y = x - 3
y = 3x - 1

Solution

The slope-intercept equation for a line is y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept of the line. From the graph, you can see that the y-intercept (the y-value from the point where the line crosses the y-axis) is -2. The slope of this line is the change in y divided by the change in x. The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 2) and (2, -6) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(-6.0) - (2.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{-8}{4} \)
m = -2

Plugging these values into the slope-intercept equation:

y = -2x - 2


4

What is 6a + 3a?

81% Answer Correctly
18a2
9
3a2
9a

Solution

To combine like terms, add or subtract the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of terms that have the same variable raised to the same exponent.

6a + 3a = 9a


5

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 4, length (l) = 8, and width (w) = 5. What is the volume?

83% Answer Correctly
448
90
48
160

Solution

The volume of a cube is height x length x width:

v = h x l x w
v = 4 x 8 x 5
v = 160
